The Judas hitmaker has revealed the Italian fashion designer will be giving her stage outfits a "face-lift" when her Born This Way Ball world tour reaches North America in January.

Gaga tweeted: "THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is getting a face-lift for America. I heard rumors @Versace IS CUSTOM DESIGNING ALL THE CLOTHES AND NEW LOOKS. (sic)"

The 26-year-old eccentric pop star is a huge fan of Versace's striking designs, and she recently stepped out in the iconic safety-pin dress first worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994.

Donatella is known for giving garments a feminine and risque flair, so Gaga - who has memorably worn a meat dress and worn a Kermit the Frog outfit - can expect some revealing new stage outfits to show off her curvier figure.

The musician has put on 11kgs this autumn and despite some criticism from commentators, she insists she feels healthier and happier than ever before.

Gaga - who is in a relationship with Chicago Fire actor Taylor Kinney - said: "When I eat and am healthy and not so worried about my looks then I'm happy. I'm happier than I've ever been. This is who I am. And I am proud at any size."
